According to HL theorem if one leg and hypotenuse of one right triangle are equal to one leg and hypotenuse of other right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

By using this theorem we can set up the system of equations as follows:

x=y+1 ...(1)

2x+3= 3y + 3 ..(2)

By using equation (1) next step is to plug in y+1 for x in equation (2). So,

2 ( y + 1) + 3 = 3y + 3

2y + 2 + 3 = 3y + 3 By using distribution property.

2y + 5 = 3y + 3

2y + 5 - 5 = 3y + 3 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.

2y = 3y - 2

2y - 3y = -2 Subtract 3y from each sides.

-y = -2

So, y=2

Next step is to plug in y=2 in equation (1) to get the value of x. Hence,

x= 2+1

=3

So, x=3 and y=2 make these triangles congruent.

So, the correct choice is 3. x = 3, y = 2.

Select the function that represents the simple interest formula.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

D. A(n) = P + (n-1)i*P

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the simple interest is:

SI = \frac{Pnr}{100}

Replace i by \frac{r}{100}, then

SI = Pni

where n is the number of years.

So, for n-1 years, the simple interest is:

SI = P(n-1)*i

The Total amount is:

A(n) = P + (n-1)i*P
